—Develop an arena for promoting interaction among researchers, analysts, and practitioners from across the country

—Enhance understanding of the current state of activities and research capabilities in the country and thereby identifying key lacunae

—Deepen and broaden engagement on the climate issue with a particular focus on smaller academic institutions, NGOs and younger scholars

—Strengthen a sense of ‘community’ among researchers

—Explore ways to more effectively link climate research and action programmes
